2.1 Low Level User Instructions

In all situations, clearances to combustibles must be
maintained. Signs should be posted in storage areas to
specify the maximum stacking height of items placed
below heater to maintain required clearances to
combustibles. Minimum clearances must be maintained
from vehicles parked below the heater. Caution should be
used when running the system near combustible
materials such as wood, paper, rubber, etc. Consideration
should be given to partitions, storage racks, hoists,
building construction, etc.
A laminated wall tag is available for the heater as a
permanent reminder of the safety instructions and the
importance of the required clearances to combustibles.
Please contact Robert-Gordon Europe Limited or your
ROBERTS GORDON ® independent distributor to obtain
the wall tag. Affix the tag by peeling off the backing of the
adhesive strips on the rear surface and position the tag
on a wall near the heater (e.g. thermostat or ROBERTS
GORDON Controller).
®
A copy of the wall tag (P/N 91037912) is illustrated on the
back cover. This copy of the wall tag can be affixed on the
wall near the heater. Know your model number and
installed configuration. Model number and installed
configuration are found on the burner and in the
Installation, Operation and Service Manual. Write the
largest clearance dimensions with permanent ink
according to your model number and configuration in the
open spaces on the tag.

2.2 Corrosive Chemicals

CAUTION
Product Damage Hazard
Do not use heater in area containing
corrosive chemicals.
Refer to appropriate Material Safety Data
Sheets (MSDS).
Failure to follow these instructions can result
in product damage.
Robert-Gordon Europe Limited cannot be responsible for
ensuring that all appropriate safety measures are
undertaken prior to installation; this is entirely the
responsibility of the installer. It is essential that the
contractor, the sub-contractor, or the owner identifies the
presence of combustible materials, corrosive chemicals
or halogenated hydrocarbons* anywhere in the premises.
* Halogenated Hydrocarbons are a family of chemical
compounds characterized by the presence of halogen
elements (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, etc.). These com-
pounds are frequently used in refrigerants, cleaning
agents, solvents, etc. If these compounds enter the air
supply of the burner, the lifespan of the heater compo-
nents will be greatly reduced. An outside air supply must
be provided to the burners whenever the presence of
these compounds is suspected. Warranty will be invalid
if the heater is exposed to halogenated hydrocarbons.

2.3 National Standards and Applicable Codes

All appliances must be installed in accordance with the
latest revision of the applicable standards and national
codes. This refers also to the electric, gas and venting
installation. Note: Additional standards for installations in
public garages, aircraft hangars, etc. may be applicable.
ALL INSTALLATONS:
These appliances shall be installed by suitably qualified
personnel in accordance with the requirements of
AS5601-2010 [or later editon]; this appliance manual and
any codes or standars which may apply to the
application.
EXTERNAL INSTALLATION:
Appliances may be installed in external non-residential
areas such as patios and under eaves provided
clearances to combustibles and minimum mounting
heights are complied with and that the appliances are
protected from rain and not subject to wind speeds in
excess of 15 kph. All external applications shall be
approved for suitable use by the appliance manuafacturer
or their representative.
